Summary
Every day, we're faced with the reality that humanity is divided right now, possibly more than ever. I'm seeing people be outright hateful to each other, in ways I've simply never seen before. Even wishing harm upon others has become all too common. I fear that humanity is losing the shared values that are necessary for us to sustain peace and unity.
If you and I aren't the change we want to see in the world—if we don't stand for love, compassion, respect, forgiveness, freedom, and allowing each other the dignity to each choose how we live our lives—we, as a species, may be in more trouble than any of us can even imagine.
But how can we love, respect, and forgive people who have wronged us, or who we view as a threat to our own safety? How can we honor our own values while getting along with people who may not share our values? Is it possible for us to remember that we are ALL fundamentally the same—human beings on this journey we call life—and to focus on and find common ground in our shared humanity, as opposed to our relatively superficial differences?
In today's episode, I want to unpack these questions and really try to answer them. It starts with you, and it starts with me. I want to talk about how we treat and view other people, the bigger picture of what's going on with humanity, and what we can do to create unity and stop sowing division during this critical time in history.
Key Takeaways
- Why focusing on our differences instead of our commonalities is driving us apart.
- How the media is conditioning us to fear, hate, and wish harm on others.
- Why choosing to view people from a space of unconditional love doesn't condone their behavior—and why hating someone hurts you more than them.
- The value of truly living life in alignment with your values.
- Why we're all deserving of unconditional love.
